Marble wood I think. Another member gave the scales to me in return for honing service. He made them from scratch however.

6/8 quarter hollow.

Basic rescale and some minor high grit sanding. Took to the hones beautifully and is a smooooth shaver. Love it

Just finished restoring this old Puma. Not looking for perfection, just presentable and shaveable. Look forward to test driving it later.

I like the challenge. Plus if it proves too tough, there's lots of help on here.

Those Wester Bros really hone up nicely. Good blades.

On topic: I'll be working on this beauty soon

I, too, use the dmt 325 for everything. It's my workhorse. Until I buy a chosera 1k that is.

Well I gave it the old college try and it cleaned up nicely after going from 100grit up to 2500. However, upon inspection under the loupe after a quick couple passes on the dmt 325, the pitting is...
